Chapter 378: 378. Want to make you happy

Qiao Xu thought she had misheard, suddenly looking up at Lu Moqing, her clear eyes bright with excitement at the bottom of her eyes.

But fearing that Lu Moqing might misunderstand her, she repeated for emphasis, "I’m saying give me Qiao Yi’s child custody back."

Lu Moqing looked at her with a warm smile, gently rubbing her head and repeated, "I get it, I promise you, Qiao Yi will be given back to you."

He watched the joy in Qiao Xu’s eyes grow more and more intense, gradually spilling out of her eyes, and his thin lips followed the curve upward.

The next moment, the joy in Qiao Xu’s eyes faded a bit and was replaced by a look of half-belief, half-doubt, "You’re not just trying to appease me, are you?"

The smile in Lu Moqing’s eyes deepened as he moved a step closer to her, gazing at her with deep, dark eyes and nodded, "Yes, trying to appease you."

Qiao Xu’s joy vanished from her face instantly, knowing that Lu Moqing would never be so easygoing.

Would he easily give back the custody rights he had fought so hard for?

Her waist was wrapped by Lu Moqing’s strong arm, she looked up at him with irritation in her eyes, and the next second, she heard Lu Moqing say:

"I want to make you happy, so I gave your son back to you."

Qiao Xu’s struggle suddenly halted, and before she could show any doubt, Lu Moqing’s hand gently held her irritated face, and he emphasized:

"I’m serious, Qiao Yi is returned to you."

The annoyance on Qiao Xu’s face was instantly replaced by joy. Even though it wasn’t very obvious, Lu Moqing could still feel her inner delight at the moment.

Straightening her face, Qiao Xu stepped back a little, creating some distance between them, and said, "Thank you."

The light in Lu Moqing’s eyes dimmed a bit when he heard her distant thanks, but he managed to hide the loss in his eyes quite well and said in a hoarse voice:

"No need."

And then there was another awkward silence.

"I should..."

"Could you stay... "

A moment later, both spoke at the same time, and upon hearing each other’s words, they stopped again.

Lu Moqing’s hopeful gaze darkened when he saw the difficulty in Qiao Xu’s eyes.

He knew that the only reason she hadn’t outright rejected him was because of their son, but he didn’t want to keep threatening her, forcing her, and make her unwillingly soften towards him with his son.

Suppressing the sadness in his eyes, he said softly, "Okay, you go back first, I’ll go in too."

After saying this, Lu Moqing turned around and walked towards the ward with a heavy heart.

Qiao Xu watched the tall and strong man’s back as he pushed the door to the ward, and a trace of loneliness and embarrassment appeared on him out of nowhere.

She stood in place, frowning slightly.

She couldn’t say how happy she was; it was more complex.

It took a long time for her to look away and walk back towards the master’s ward, just arriving at the entrance when she saw Grandma Lu coming out of the room with a complicated expression.

"Grandma."

Qiao Xu walked up and called out.

"Come in, your grandpa needs to talk to you."

"Alright, Grandma, take care."

After parting with Grandma Lu, Qiao Xu pushed the door and entered the ward.

The old man was still sitting beside the bed, looking energetic and waved at her with a smile as she entered.

Qiao Xu sat down beside her grandpa and listened as he said, "Do you know what the old lady said to me just now?"

Qiao Xu was slightly startled. Hearing the old man’s words, she knew that the topic the two had just discussed was related to her.
